Chapter 48: Survival

Jun:

The “Warehouse” as they called it, was just south of the mansion with fortified steel plating along the walls, and heavy industrial grade concrete with rebar reinforced throughout the entire structure.

The massive iron-barred with steel plate cell sat “bullseye” inside the warehouse with flame retardant shields, because Onyx was shifting into her dragon without any control.

Feeling nervous of the unknown.

“How you holding up?” Lea sat down next to me on the cot turned into a makeshift couch, so I wasn’t standing too much, seeing that I was a walking Aircraft carrier.

Leaning back against the cool steel wall as Onyx twitched and rolled inside the cell, feeling like I had betrayed my friend and dragon, but I knew it was for everyone’s safety.

“I’m okay with the current situation.” I smiled weakly as Lea placed her hand on my squirming belly as her eyes held a softness with her other hand, laid gently over her stomach soothing out a cramp in her side.

“I completely understand. Onyx is my friend and sister, regardless of birth right, she holds a special place within all our hearts and the “Trouble Three”.” She laughed softly as we sat quietly, watching as Amelia and Xander checked on Onyx with a special inferred system and monitor showing her body temperature.

Exhaling heavily as Byron appeared with two plates, topped with mouth watering sandwiches and fresh kettle cooked chips smelling the salty aroma of baked ham.

Taking it with a warm smile, feeling like I was home with them.

“How’s the “trio”?” I asked softly with a smile, biting into the toasted ham and cheese with a soft moan of approval as Lea shared the same eye rolling delight.

The girls squirmed in approval as Byron stood with his hands behind his back, stone faced as his eyes flashed a soft hue of red, studying Onyx sweating profusely.

“Stable. We have close eyes on all of them and Dirk seems calm, so that helps with the situation. How about you?” He asked with that deep timbered tone that made my body flutter, watching Lea giggle softly behind her sandwich.

“It’s weird. I can feel her but there is something else mixed with her that is powerful. Almost like another person or energy.” I spoke matter-of-factly as Byron and Lea looked at me with perked brows then to each other in a silent conversation.

Soft giggling echoed faintly as my eyes looked around, seeing only Amelia and Xander talking softly as they monitored Onyx’s vitals and us sitting here. Shaking it off as I ate the fresh kettle chips with a loud crunch, causing me to flinch back at how loud it sounded.

“Sorry.” I laughed softly, covering my mouth with my hand as Lea nudged my side playfully, watching Byron kiss her head softly.

“I’m going to head back just in case.” He smiled softly as he disappeared through the black hole with a soft humming of static.

“Must be nice.” I silently quipped at the fact my legs have to carry my ass.

“Hehe.” A loud giggle sounded in my head, scaring the shit out of me with a questioning stare.

“Jun, you okay?” Lea asked softly as she held my trembling hand, breathing deeply with me as I regained my bearings.

Shaking my head weakly as her eyes glowed a soft silver, feeling my body calm slowly.

“That tickles.”

“WHAT THE FUCK!” I shouted in fright as my plate shattered across the floor with concerned looks from Lea and Amelia as she hurried over to me.

“Language. Jeez, you’re a kitsune and this is how you respond.” The giddy voice chirped mockingly, knowing an eye roll was accompanied with the attitude.

“W-what?” I stuttered silently as Lea and Amelia led me into the office styled room with viewing windows, so my eyes were always on Onyx.

“Jun, honey. You okay?” Amelia spoke softly as she rubbed soft circles along my back.

“I like her. She has a good soul for a Wolf. AWHOO!” The voice laughed happily as my ass found the nearest seat before my legs collapsed under me.

Staring at the ladies in confusion as sweat dripped slowly from my brow, patting it dry with my sleeve as Lea and Amelia held my hands.

“A-A voice is talking to me.” I managed to speak through the Sahara that laced across my tongue and throat.

“A voice?” They both spoke in amusement as they shared perked brows.

Nodding my head “yes” as my fingers massaged my temples to sooth the thumping that roared like a freight train

.

“A voice! Really, that’s all you can say. I have a name you know.” The voice sounded hurt but still with a chipper hitch.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to be rude, but this is insane.” I spoke silently with a tilted smirk as the ladies sat with me, reassuring me it was okay.

“It’s okay, Jun. The name is Amaya, you’re spirit fox.” She laughed softly as bright, sparkly flashes danced along my thoughts as bright electric blue eyes stared at me with a tender gaze.

“My spirit fox.” I spoke softly as my eyes darted across the smoothed concrete floor as the ladies gasped in excitement, patting my hands with bright smiles.

“Yep! Me and you partner.” Amaya laughed in excitement with a weird western drawl as my eyes closed in a deep exhale, feeling the pull into the back of my mind.

Amelia and Lea held my hands, stroking their thumbs over my knuckles as a blurry white ball bounced around against the dark veil of my subconsciousness. Steadying my breaths as the white blur became sharper and more vivid with those gorgeous, electric blues piercing through my core.

A sharp flick of her fur as she stretched out her limbs, prancing and swooshing her fluffy tail in excitement as she sat on her hind legs.

“I’m not crazy, you’re really, real!” I laughed lightly, sitting in a laxed Indian style as my hands rested gently along my belly.

“Yep, and I’m not the only one.” She laughed softly, flopping to her side as her large, pointed ears flipped and turned, listening to the sounds that echoed softly in the background.

Enamored by her playfulness, and not to mention her gorgeous white fur and those blue eyes. My heart fluttered in joy as we sat quietly, taking in each other’s appearance.

“Oh, God! Dirk!” I jumped up, looking around in panic as Amaya just rolled on her back, swooshing her tail lazily, licking her front paws with her cute pink tongue.

“Relax, Seiji is handling Dirk. We’re siblings.” Amaya pushed her paw out like she was waving it off with a human hand.

“You’re what!” I shouted back in panic that our spirit foxes we’re fucking “Siblings” and…and…OH, GOD!

Dropping to my knees as my subconscious started to flick and shutter, watching Amaya just lay there with no care in the world.

“Relax, that’s how all species started…a guy…a girl and voila, here we are now.” Amaya swayed her paw to the side for each one, huffing a light laugh as she rolled her paws to sign “sex” with a bright wink-wink.

“Do you take anything serious? I mean, brother, sister, bumping uglies and viola, everything is okay?” I rebutted with an aspirated eye roll.

“Look, evolution has led us here and just because your fox is sister to your mate’s fox, doesn’t mean shit. You are the last of the bloodlines, just like Onyx and we are here for the next evolution.” Amaya rolled quickly to her feet, shaking out her fur with a soft, clicking purr.
